We have noticed that any process seems to be in waiting situation but : - before the autovacuum process starts to work on the both kind of tables, truncate and index creation take less than 2 seconds - after the autovacuum process starts to work on the both kind of tables, truncate and index creation never end We have to stop our process, then reset the autovacuum thresold for second kind of tables, then restart our process. Is it possible that the fact that statistics of postgresql are not up-to-date could explain this behavior ? Is it possible that the autovacuum process does not stop itself when we perform a truncate or a create index ? > A minor release (where the version number doesn't change before the > second dot) never requires a dump and restore.

As we mention in the previous mail, we can only upgrade to the 8.4.13 with Debian. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
